Protector Sets

About Protector Sets

A protector set bundles several protective pieces into one package, so a rider can get matched protection for more than one area at a time. Riders shop for them to outfit a new rider, to buy a youth size, or because a set is simpler than choosing each piece separately.

The listings include EVS Ballistic Jersey and comp suit sets, EVS Slam Combo Plus sets in Mini and Youth sizes, and a Barricade Level 2 back armor kit. Sizes vary a lot, from Mini and Youth to adult sizes such as 2X, so choose by the maker's chart, and for a youth set measure the rider. Read the description for what the set includes and where the protection sits, since sets differ.

Brands here are EVS and Fly Racing. If you would rather pick pieces individually, see Back Protectors and Chest Protectors, and for replacement pads and straps see Protector Parts. The full group is Protective Gear.

FAQs on protector sets

What comes in a protector set?

It depends on the set. A set bundles protection for several areas, such as a jersey with pads or an armor kit, and the description lists what is included. Read the title and details to see which pieces and which areas are covered.

Is a set better than buying pieces separately?

A set gives matched pieces in one size and one order, which is simpler for a new or youth rider. Buying separately lets you choose the rating, size and brand for each area. Compare what a set includes with what you need.

How do I size a protector set for a child?

Use the youth or mini size in the listing and measure the rider against the maker's size chart. Do not buy a larger size for them to grow into, because protection that does not sit over the right area will not work as intended, and recheck the fit as they grow.

Can I replace one piece of a set?

Sometimes. Some makers sell spare pads and straps separately, while other pieces have to be replaced as a whole. Check the maker's instructions, and look in Protector Parts for pieces that match the exact model and size of your set.
